Your Mind-Body Healing Therapist in Philadelphia
As a licensed professional counselor with a private practice in Philadelphia, I have dedicated my career to creating a supportive environment for reflection, healing, and self-discovery. My practice integrates cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness-based approaches, drawing from over 15 years of clinical experience since 2009. Trained at the Beck Institute and the University of Pennsylvania, I offer both in-person and online therapy services to residents of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. My work emphasizes a mind-body connection to help clients overcome anxiety, stress, and mood challenges through personalized counseling and meditation coaching. I hold advanced certifications in clinical supervision and Instinctive Meditation, and I continue to expand my expertise as a Ph.D. candidate in psychology at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.My practice combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with holistic wellness strategies, including the development of a self-paced anxiety workbook designed to provide accessible tools for emotional growth. I maintain active collaborations with mental health professionals and yoga practitioners to ensure comprehensive care for my clients, and I have been featured in national publications for my innovative approaches to mental health. My commitment to client-centered care is reflected in testimonials highlighting my ability to create safe, nonjudgmental spaces for personal transformation.
